Note:	The Currier and Ives legend began in 1836 when a young Nathaniel Currier (1813 - 1888) opened his 152 Nassau Street office in New York. During the following decade the lithographic business grew, with Currier and his artists issuing prints to cover a vast range of scenes to interest America. The images were all created for the rapidly growing and increasingly prosperous American public. In 1852, a young bookkeeper, James Meritt Ives (1824 - 1895) was hired by Currier. Five years later the legendary partnership of Currier and Ives was born.
